I've never been to "real" camp, but the thing I miss from when I went to day camp as a child would be my friends there. I met my best friend Ashley there and we're still friends to this day!

I also miss the suprises there.. My birthday is in the beginning of July, so we would always be at day camp on our birthday--we being my sisters and I, we're triplets. Anyhoo, I remember one year the camp director pulled my sisters and I in her office and asked us what color should she paint the building.. What we didn't know was it was a setup! They were planning a suprise birthday party for us! It was so sweet.
